I like thinking about the future. And I thought Mirai was a cute name! But, well - you know.

So I asked Claude to help me come up with forward looking, good sounding Japanese words that isn’t the name of a botnet.

Fun fact! Hajime (“beginning”, according to Claude, and based on my shallow Japanese knowledge too) is also a botnet. Are forward looking Japanese names forever cursed to be botnet names due to Mirai..?

But anyways, Asuwa (“tomorrow is-”) became my blog pseudonym. If it ever becomes a botnet, know that it wasn’t at the time this blog was made!
